[http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6352&item=4544367638&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6352&item=4544367638&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW) vid is in the right corner of description. Seems like a pretty sweet car for fwd. I liked the video and he was modest enough to put a lose at the end. Stil like the AWD though ---

Minus the carbon fiber hood (i’m sorry, but I still don’t get the whole CF thing), that’s a beautiful car. I miss my Eclipse. I’ll probably pick up a 99 GSX for a winter beater at some point. ---

ya its been done but its rough on the car, the guy has the original hood too…reduces weight like 40 pounds i think so it helps at the track a lil. a 99 for a beater would be an expensive beater though ---
